Movement in Labour not quite anti capital (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ulan bator

'capital' is the definition.
(capital of Mongolia)

'movement in labour not quite anti' is the wordplay.
'movement in' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'not quite' means to remove the last letter (most but not all of the word).
'anti' with its last letter taken away is 'ant'.
'labour'+'ant'='labourant'
'labourant' is an anagram of 'ULAN BATOR'.

(Other definitions for ulan bator that I've seen before include "eastern city" , "Capital of Mongolia" , "Mongol city" , "Mongolian city" , "capital city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
